To all my friends "HAPPY LANDINGS"....



Flying school is something I have always wanted to join to do a crash 50 hour course in Microlight flying. In India a few schools have opened up otherwise Florida was the place for it. Yes I am saving up for it as first priority on things to do when I retire.  Just waiting for TATA to come out with a JAGUAR NANO MICROLIGHT. That is 2nd item on the priority list.

RC India - Flying and racing with open minds !



Seems like more and more people are getting into the training business.  Wanted to bump this thread to highlight something for the benefit of beginners.

Ideally (yes, "ideally"), every field should have some dedicated trainers, with at least the buddy cable with them. One step further is the availability of a set of trainer plane + extra radio, for absolute beginners to get a feel. "Ideally" this should be a free service (2 or 3 flights), that is the least the experienced members can do in terms of selfless service towards this hobby.  The trainer plane used should be foam models, which can handle "mishaps despite buddy setups".

As far as beginners are concerned, they should try to get their hands (and time) on a sim, even if they do not own one. Then they should visit the nearby field, instead of trying to build/buy and get frustrated out (of course, the really patient ones are probably OK on their own!).

It does make sense to charge for higher end skills (like 3D heli flying), or when things like fuel costs are involved, but as a community, there should be a concentrated effort to impart initial training to beginners at zero (or bare minimum) cost.

.. there should be a concentrated effort to impart initial training to beginners at zero (or bare minimum) cost.

Towards this, anyone is most welcome to shillong, 2-3 sessions a week i can promise, stay in shillong town , holiday for the week, learn flying during weekend/ some weeekdays, solo, and you are on your own. come with nothing, Fly my plane, CHARGES ? Nothing,

later on, once you are done, you can buy aeroplane of your choice, i can provide advice

PS
Check with me before landing up though  Grin

Hi,

I agree with anwar bhai..

In words of one of the trainers at my field, " i charge so as to feed my own hobby of flying heli or plane"... I think many people are doing this now.
